National curriculum in children's best interests: Bligh

Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says a national curriculum is in the best interests of children whose families move interstate.

Only Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory have indicated they are ready to sign up to the new curriculum at an education ministers meeting tomorrow.

Ms Bligh says it would be of particular benefit to defence force families.

"Here in Queensland we have more children moving into our schools from other states of Australia than any other state, so a national curriculum is probably more important in Queensland classrooms than maybe any other part of Australia," she said.
